Client Reviews About Constantine
On behalf of my wife Jonatha and myself, I would like to sincerely thank Con and his team for the outstanding service that they have provided to us over the past several years.
Our journey has been very difficult, with many hurdles to overcome. Our case seemed impossible due to my wife's medical issues, but PAX Migration made it possible for us. We would not be both residing here today in Australia without the wonderful help and guidance of Con and his team. PAX Migration Agents have made it possible for us to be together on a permanent basis and we will be forever grateful for this. We can't thank you enough for all that you have done for us. If you want the very best migration service and best outcomes for your personal situation then I highly recommend PAX Migration. Thank you so much PAX Migration.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Grant Frankcombe and Con Paxinos for my visa and permanent residency process, and I can't recommend them highly enough.
Their support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire journey, from exploring student visa options to successfully obtaining a work-sponsored visa and finally, securing permanent residency. Con's expertise in navigating the complexities of visa applications was evident from the start. He provided clear, detailed information and was always available to answer any questions, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process. Partnering with Grant for the PR application was equally impressive. His thorough understanding of the requirements and his attention to detail made a significant difference in the outcome. Together, they form an exceptional team, demonstrating both professionalism and a genuine commitment to their clients. Being based in WA, their excellent communication and efficient processes made everything seamless, regardless of the distance. Thank you, Grant and Con, for your outstanding service. Your expertise and support have been crucial in achieving my goals. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking guidance in their visa or PR applications.
My interaction with PAX Migration Agency was fantastic.
They were incredibly helpful and friendly. Additionally, they responded very quickly about the queries regarding the submission of documents and were incredibly prompt and helpful in offering their comments and suggestions. Personally, I'm really at ease with them.
I don’t even know where to begin to express how grateful I am to PAX Migration.
This journey would have been impossible without them. They were so professional, transparent and good at communicating, they were also very reassuring and able to evaluate my options with me and help me look at the best possible options there is in obtaining my residency. I am a full time working professional and I really don’t have the patience or the time to go through documentation and with them I didn’t have to worry about anything they did the hard work for me and always kept me in the loop. You will never go wrong with trusting them. In fact have that consultation and start the journey to your visa of any kind, right now!!
The process I experienced with PAX was super smooth.
They know all requirements needed, they respond very quickly and they were very organized. They will certainly take care of your whole application with no problems.
I came to Con in May 2023 for my AAT appeal.
In 4 months, my decision was overturned and got my permanent residency in September 2023. I am grateful to Con and his team for guiding me and helping me. I would recommend Con and his team 1000%.

Their services are mindblowing, really appreciate their effort. Thank you for each and every thing.
Thank you so much Kinga and Con for excellent outcome for medical treatment visa for my mum.
It wasn’t expected much to get the visa as it was refused by immigration office previously. But Kinga could give me the best advice and help and the outcome is beyond my expectation. I strongly suggest their service for anyone who would need help for visa application as they are trustworthy and excellent according to my experience.
I cannot recommend the PAX Migration team highly enough!
Con has supported us throughout our journey to permanent residence with clear and informed advice and Kinga made the final application process reassuringly straightforward. Thank you to all the team. We are thrilled to be able to settle in beautiful Adelaide!
PAX Migration Agency provided professional and high quality service and enough guidance
I totally recommend this agency
Excellent service from Con and Avelyn, with a successful outcome after a prolonged and complex effort for myself and my family.
Very professional, detailed advice and support throughout the process.
It is not easy to find a right word to appreciate PAX migration efforts.
Through this challenging path, having a professional and reliable leader is a precious gift. I was privilege to know Con and his team. They helped and guided me with their knowledge and their great experience to get my skilled visa. It was a great pleasure working with them. Thanks so much.
I was really anxious at first, but they helped me through the entire process and I'm really grateful for their kind words everytime I was stuck at one or the other paperwork.
You've been indeed of great help, responding instantly and to the point.
Great service.
Very prompt, responsive and professional. I received my 190 visa through PAX Migration Service and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking migration service. It was a pleasure working through this process with Con and Jen. I deeply appreciate their efforts.
Con and Kinga organised our work visa for Australia and we felt safe in their hands all the way.
They are extremely precise and pay attention to every minor detail, making sure everything will go smooth with DOHA. Also they respond super quick to emails 24/7. Can`t recommend enough! Thanks Kinga & Con!
Con and Grant have been very professional and thorough in preparation of my visa application.
Always willing to help and guide me throughout the process, I am very grateful for their efforts in ensuring a successful outcome of my application. I will be happy to recommend their services! Well done! :)
Love this immigration agency so much.
We've had the pleasure of dealing with Con, Avelyn, Christina and Kinga as we had many visas for many family members and they've stuck with us through thick and thin. Not only are they really knowledgeable people, but they are really kind. The latest visa was one that Avelyn helped us with, a visa I thought might not even get approved at all and it did. Avelyn helped us with that one and was super responsive and highly detailed. PAX Migration is fantastic, highly recommend. Thank you so much for helping my family. I can't begin to express my gratitude. From Maz and Mark.
Con, Kinga and the team at PAX Migration did a great job helping my wife to obtain a Partner Visa and then helping my wife's sister obtain a medical visa.
Our situation was a very difficult and complex one but Con and Kinga and the team made it all possible. We can't thank you enough for everything that you have done for us. I highly recommend the team at PAX Migration, they really know their business
Con and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with,
processing in a timely and a very reliable manner with clear communication!
I'm very happy with their service.
Con is a honest and very sincere migration agent. He cares about clients a lot and always shows sympathy. He never hesitated to reply me email or gave me a call when necessary. He's been a great help for my very complicated case. The result could not be more satisfied.
PAX Migration Agency provided professional and high quality service and enough gudiance
I totally recommend this agency
We highly recommend PAX Migration.
Con and Kinga gave us exceptional service. Kinga has kept us up to speed during the whole process, she even assisted after hours (due to the time difference). Kinga thank you for being a superb agent. Sarel and Roelien Pretorius
Great experience for what can be a very stressful process.
Con and Jen were always there to answer any questions I had and kept me up to date with what was going on. Thanks again to them both!
An immigrant's journey is not an easy one, but it gets bearable once you have the right guidance from great people - that's where PAX Migration comes in.
PAX are extremely professional and support you throughout your immigration journey, giving you the best advice when it matters. Shoutout to Con Paxinos and his team who are an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Pax Migration to any friend that seeks insight from me. Thanks Con and Rosanna for assisting me and my partner in our 190 Permanent Residency journey 😊
I'll give a 5 star review to PAX Migration Australia.
They give thorough instruction , stress-free communication, good service and have the kindest agent.
Excellent service, highly recommended, very professional, they respond quickly to your emails, good team of professionals.
I started my visa process from the Netherlands at the beginning of the year and in a matter of months I already had the approval of the Australian government. Thank you!! Very happy
We went through two visa applications with PAX Migration.
They were supportive, responsive and informative in every step and we have really enjoyed going through this journey with them. We would highly recommend PAX Migration to anyone who is looking for a trusted professional agent.
Great service.
Very reliable. Strongly recommend!
Fantastic service every step along the way.
Con and Grant clarified all details and helped with filling out forms and organising relevant paperwork needing for a completed application and provided invaluable advice on the process. Highly recommended!
Con and his team were brilliant.
They coordinated the whole process really well and I would highly recommend their services.
My employer uses PAX Migration services because they are one of the most reliable services in SA,
highly professional team (Grant and Con), made my Visa application far less complicated than it should be and I would be using and recommending their services for all family and friends.
I don't normally give reviews like this, well in fact this is the first time i am doing this! But for the persons who helped us reach where we are today, it is all worth it.
Con and his team helped us prepare all the documents needed to lodge my spouse visa application. They did thorough review and give us advise on each evidence submitted. When i was looking for job, Con emailed my employer explaining my current visa and working rights. And i was able to secure the job! Con and his team also lodged my final application for permanent residency, which i got approved after less than 1 month (which is today!), when the average processing time is 3-12 months! I have never met Con and his team in person, but the support and customer experience is awesome! We could not demand for more. Con is also the one who helped my brother in law from student visa to citizenship; and my husband's work visa to permanent residency. If we could give him 10 stars, we would!!! Thank you so much for everything Con and Jen! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
We are a family of 4.
I was the main applicant. We approached Pax Migration services, via my employer, who had great faith in Con. Con, together with his team, did an extraordinary job to obtain a very last minute 482 visa for me. They also assisted me, with great patience, to get my PR visa. It was a long difficult road for me, but Pax Migration was there to answer questions and provide sound advice. Prompt, professional and punctual. I recommend Pax Migration to any and all new individuals/families wanting a smooth landing to a new beginning in Australia.
If you are looking for a reliable, friendly and competent Migration agency PAX Migration is second to none.
After a several disappointments with other agents I have first gotten in touch with Con in 2018 and have since lodged successfully several 457 transfers, TSS and finally PR visas through Con as well as Grant. Throughout, I've received nothing but excellent support and they gave me the feeling that they really care about me and my matters. This made the process significantly less intimidating and frustrating. I can not recommend PAX Migration enough and will keep doing so to everyone in need for an agency. As a little sidenote, their pricing is very transparent, fair, and competitive. Even though this shouldn't be the deciding factor in choosing an agent, it is certainly a bonus :-) Thanks a lot to you guys for everything you have done it is truly appreciated. Felix
It was a pleasure working with Con on my partner visa application.
His guidance and support made this very complicated and long process less stressful. His knowledge is excellent and it helped us a lot, knowing we are in good hands. His reassurance and quick responses to our questions brought peace of mind during a stressful time and big life changes. We received the best news possible that I have been granted a permanent residency and we are so happy that we can stay together! This means the world to us. Thank you so much, Con.
We have used multiple migration agents since being in Australia in the last 2 years. Pax Migration, specifically Constantine, has been the best by far.
He has been so honest, helpful, and informative. We have experienced some migration agents that have given false information, but we trust Con 120%. We are grateful to all the help and advice he has given us. We HIGHLY reccomend. And our sitation seems complicated, which was handled with ease. Thank you Con!
I have been in Australia about 10 years as a worker & student, and during that time, I have met many migration agents but PAX Migration was best.
I have always suggested PAX Migration to my friends, and my best Friends & Family have already completed or been doing their immigration plan with PAX. If you are thinking to take clear & proper advices and complete your immigration plan successfully, I strongly suggest PAX Migration.
Doing our VISA through PAX has been such a pleasure.
Con has helped us with two Visa's now and both were granted within record time with absolutely no issues. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend using PAX,
We have used them twice and both times the Visas were approved within record time with no issues
I would highly recommend PAX Migration
I was in a very unique situation and I was given clear, informed and helpful information on my options. Con and Grant were extremely professional and thorough and lead us through the process with ease. We were thrilled to receive a positive outcome - thanks again! Megan & Alex.
I will always be grateful and I recommend 100%
I would like to thank Pax Migration for all the help they have given me in this important process for me and my partner. With their help and guidance I obtained my permanent resident visa and I could not recommend them enough to help through what can be a stressful process. Constantine was very professional and easy to deal with and he was always concerned with every detail.
I highly recommend PAX Migration.
Con is understanding, patient & a good communicator. Nothing in the process became complicated. We managed to get a successful result, even though I was in a unique situation without precedent. (and we were in the middle of a global pandemic) I cannot express enough my gratitude in words. Thank you!
A big shout to Pax migration Australia.
They are the best; highly knowledgeable, compassionate and easy to approach and are always there to help you. We are very lucky but that we got Con and Grant to handle our application. Thank you. Highly recommend them. Wish there was a provision to give more than 5 stars. 😊

Very helpful, professional and friendly
Worked with Con for my visa application from start to end. Very helpful, professional and friendly.
We were recommended Pax Migration from a friend to use as our agent whilst we went through the process of 489 to 887 visa.
PAX Migration were very professional on our first consultation. We paid the fees and put our full trust into them. During the process they were the ease in my mind, helping with any questions or concerns I had. There knowledge and expertise is simply the best, we received an amazing service and I would not be able to recommend a better agent or service. So if you are looking for a reasonably priced and friendly agent with that personal touch and understanding then honestly look no further Con and the team at PAX Migration are simply the best.
I would like to thank Con and Grant for assistance with my PR visa.
I had a bit of challenges with my application but they know how to navigate and advice in ways to manage the process. Keep on doing the good work. Thanks again.
During my time in Australia
I have consulted many migration agents but PAX Migration is by far the best. I have received excellent advice and prompt reply whenever I needed any assistance. I would highly recommend PAX Migration to anyone who is looking for migration advice/services, they are honest, professional and hardworking. Thanks to Con🙏
Constantine was very helpful and always answered my questions.
He made my Visa application process quite easy and assisted me step by step, all the way from start to end. Anyway, great services from PAX Migration!
PAX Migration is absolutely amazing.
They are professional, caring, well-organised and efficient. Con and his team did the really great job handling my partner and my RSMS visa application. He is professional. He explained all the possibilities, options and concerns he could think about in the very beginning and keep us updated during the whole process. He always analyses and suggests the best option that fit our situation and needs. He is efficient and well organised. We were in a very tough and urgent situation with limited time (only 2 weeks left) to launch the RSMS visa application from scratch before new policies applied. He is well-organised by giving us accurate and clear checklist to follow. We could then successfully launch the application with all required documents before the deadline. I highly recommend PAX Migration to everyone who is looking for a genuine professional migration agent. Thanks again for all the work Con and your team.
Highly recommend PAX Migration.
Con is a professional, organised and knowledgeable migration agent with patience and empathy. My partner and me were in a very tough situation before Con and his professional team give us a hand handling the RSMS visa application. He always responds promptly to our concerns. You can trust him and his team by observing how organised and efficient he works. We really appreciate all the hard work by you Con and your amazing team. Thank you so much!
PAX are true professionals.
It didn't make a difference that we're a Melbourne business, Con always made time for us generally going above and beyond. The visa situation for one of our crew meant it wasn't a run of the mill situation but I'm glad Con was able to guide us through it all. Keep up the great work guys!
My husband and I began using Con’s services three years ago for my Partnership Visa.
Con has been supportive all the way through. He is an excellent communicator, professional, and really strives to get results for his clients. What many people said would be an incredibly painful process was made easier with Con’s guidance. I would highly recommend Con and his team to anyone. His knowledge and efficiency have surpassed our expectation.
PAX Migration Agency is the best.
I am truly thankful and very impressed with your great service. You did an excellent quality of assistance and fast service in my PR application. I am very satisfied with the result that within 6 weeks since the date of my visa lodgement, my PR was granted. I would highly recommend PAX Migration for anyone who's looking for a trusted and professional Agent. Thank You Very Much!!!...
Pax Migration are real professionals.
Excellent work and service throughout a long and difficult Visa application. Con and Christina were great and we are very grateful for everything they did for our family. We are very happy we choose your agency. Thank you so much!!
Con applied for my RSMS visa on 4th Dec 2017 and I was granted that visa on 13th Dec 2018.
It took a year roughly in my case but the process period for RSMS visa is 23 months these days. I'm 100% sure that the reasons I got the PR visa earlier than normal period were his super quick response and continual update between a case officer of immigration and me. Hi Con,thank you for everything you've done for me and my family. Merry Christmas and happy New year!
Con did a great job with my PR visa.
Very informative from the start as we worked out which visa was best suited to my current situation. Always kept in touch and replied quickly to all questions and emails. Thanks Con!
PAX is one of the best agencies i have worked with.
Very professional and excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend PAX to anyone who wants a pathway in securing a visa. Thanks Con and stay blessed
Pax is very good at what they do, and very good to do at what they say.
Lucky to find someone as correct as Con & Pax. Great Service. Very trusted. Highly RECOMMENDED.
Con has done an outstanding job in regards to my 457 visa.
An absolute pleasure to work with him! I can highly recommend their services.
Con and the whole team at PAX Migration Australia are a pleasure to deal with.
I had previously handled a couple of tech based migrations but know how difficult and time-consuming the process can be. We had a pretty complex case this time around and PAX just got it done, no fuss, but plenty of honesty and compassion in the process. Highly recommended.
Con is amazing!
He is very patient and reliable, happy to answer my questions. We have recommended him to our friends and all of us have received visa in time. Appreciate your work - Harry and Lily 😊

I have no words to thank Con for his job.
He has been very informative from the beginning and he answered to all of my questions in no time :)... Thanks to you I just got my PR :) I will advice your company to anyone else needs advice.
Con and all the staff at Pax Migration were a pleasure to deal with.
My husband’s Stage 2 Permanent Partner Visa was granted in less than 3 months. We were expecting at least a 12 month wait. No question was silly and nothing was too difficult. Con and all the team went over and above to assure that the journey was as smooth as possible for us and we are so very grateful. I would highly recommend the services of Pax Migration to anyone who asks. Thanks again.
Con did a great job with my PR visa.
Very informative from the start as we worked out which visa was best suited to my current situation. Always kept in touch and replied quickly to all questions and emails. Thanks Con!
Amazing work by Con!!
Getting Medical Visa to Australia is not easy, we had a valid case however it needed strong representation. Pax Migration was able to provide that expertise. Thanks to their experience and patience in understanding our case. I am impressed with their approach and paperwork. I would highly rate them. Keep up the good work guys!!
I've recently had the pleasure of working with Con on my 457 visa.
He certainly did a marvelous job and I couldn't be anymore pleased with his service and support. Not only is he very professional and easy to work with but his reassuring way of handling the whole process has made a big difference to me. Couldn't recommend him more!

Being a property manager, Christina & Con have helped out with a lot of our international students/tenants.
They have made the transition very easy for them. Keep up the great work!
HAPPY NEWS. I got granted a pr visa yesterday.
The visa sub class is 187 rsms, and honestly it was a long journey to be here, but Pax Migration has been provided me a professional service and support. Also, the fees are very reasonable if compared to other agencies. I am very satisfied with the result. Thanks Con.

Christina and Con are nice to work with.
They are knowledgeable about the rules and procedures. Good advices were given during the application. They were responsive and prompt in action. I obtained 3 years ban waiver and visa approval well ahead of time. Highly recommended for their services
